Groundbreaking Wednesday for credit union’s Corinth operations center

Hudson River Community Credit Union will break ground during a ceremony at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday for its new Operations Center on the grounds of the International Paper Co. plant on fifth Avenue in Corinth.

Actual construction will begin in the autumn and be completed in the fall of 2012. The $3 million, two-story building will house most of the credit union’s operations staff. F.H. Alexander of Ballston Lake is the general contractor.

The credit union was chartered by a group of International Paper Company employees in 1954, and now has five branches, in Corinth, Glens Falls, Hudson Falls, Cohoes and Troy.
